The Lamb Holds the Victory - Love Worth Finding - December 27
December 27, 2025 – The Lamb Holds the Victory
Sermon: 1896 Mary's Little Lamb
Pray Over This
“Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!’”
Ponder This
I heard of a man who worked in a slaughterhouse where they processed beef cattle. The man thought nothing of his job until one day the slaughterhouse began to process lambs. And a lamb came through the chute, and he said, “It was my responsibility to cut the throat of that lamb. I’d never done that before. I’d watch the steers as they would wrestle and fight, but the little lamb just laid his neck back. I laid down my knife, and I resigned from my job. I couldn’t do that. I could not take the life of a little lamb so meek, so mild.”
God used a mild little lamb to deliver His people from Egypt. Do you know what the symbol of Egypt was? It was a serpent. Not so long ago, I visited the British Museum in London. I wanted to see the section on Egyptology. I wanted to see the crowns the Pharaohs would wear. On Pharaoh’s crown and scepter, you see a serpent coiled up. This is the battle—between a seemingly defenseless, gentle, meek, mild lamb and a venomous, hissing, poisonous serpent. God gave victory to the lamb, the one who laid down His life.
- How is Jesus’ victory unexpected according to the ways of the world?
- How do you struggle to live in gentleness and meekness like Jesus?
Practice This
Praise God for working in unexpected ways, most of all through the Lamb of God.
